Choosing a Connection Method

Choosing a Connection Method
Connect the printer via Ethernet, USB, or parallel. A USB or a parallel connection is a direct connection and is not used for networking. An Ethernet connection is used for networking. Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Cabling and hardware are generally not included with your printer and must be purchased separately. This section includes:
Connecting via Ethernet and USB on page 4-3
Connecting via Ethernet on page 4-3
Connecting via USB on page 4-4
Connecting via Parallel on page 4-5

Connecting via Ethernet and USB

You can connect your Phaser 6180MFP printer through Ethernet, USB, or both at the same time. The available features for each connection type are shown in the following table.
Connection Type Available Features
USB When connected via USB you can:
Scan an image into an application.
Scan an image to a folder on the computer.
Use the Address Book Editor to manage address book entries.
Ethernet When connected via Ethernet you can:
Scan to a computer on the network.
Scan to an FTP server.
Scan to email.
Use CentreWare IS to manage address book entries.
For information on each connection type, see Connecting via Ethernet on page 4-3 and
Connecting via USB on page 4-4.

Connecting via Ethernet

Ethernet can be used for one or more computers. It supports many printers and systems on an Ethernet network. An Ethernet connection is recommended because it is faster than a USB connection. It also allows you direct access to CentreWare Internet Services (IS). The CentreWare IS web interface enables you to manage, configure, and monitor networked printers from your desktop.

Choosing a Connection Method
Network Connection
Depending on your particular setup, the following hardware and cabling is required for Ethernet.
If you are connecting to one computer, an Ethernet RJ-45 crossover cable is required.
If you are connecting to one or more computers with an Ethernet hub, or cable or DSL
router, two or more twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required. (One cable for each device.)
If you are connecting to one or more computers with a hub, connect the computer to the hub with one cable, and then connect the printer to the hub with the second cable. Connect to any port on the hub except the uplink port.

Connecting via USB

If you are connecting to one computer, a USB connection offers fast data speeds. A USB connection is not as fast as an Ethernet connection but is faster than using parallel. To use USB, PC users must have Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or newer operating system. Macintosh users must use Mac OS X, version 10.2 and higher.
USB Connection
A USB connection requires a standard A/B USB cable. This cable is not included with your printer and must be purchased separately. Verify that you are using the correct USB cable for your connection (2.0 for best results).
1. Connect one end of the USB cable to the printer and turn it on.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the computer.

Choosing a Connection Method

Connecting via Parallel

A parallel cable connection can also be used for connecting to one computer. This type of connection provides the slowest data speeds. Parallel connection requires a standard-to-high density parallel printer cable, (36-pin high-density 1284-C [male] to 36-pin low density 1284-B [male] cable), with a maximum length of three meters (10 feet). Connect the parallel cable to the printer and the computer while they are both Off, and then turn them On. Install the printer driver from the Software and Documentation CD-ROM, and select the appropriate LPT parallel port.

TCP/IP and IP Addresses on page 4-6
Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 4-6
Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 4-7
Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 4-8

TCP/IP and IP Addresses

If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate TCP/IP addresses and additional configuration information.
If you are creating your own small Local Area Network or connecting the printer directly to your computer using Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the printer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address.
PCs and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network. With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. It is important that the addresses are similar, but not the same; only the last digit needs to be different. For example, your printer can have the address 192.168.1.2 while your computer has the address 192.168.1.3. Another device can have the address 192.168.1.4.
Generally, Macintosh computers use either TCP/IP or the Bonjour protocol to talk to a networked printer. For Mac OS X systems, TCP/IP is preferred. Unlike TCP/IP, however, Bonjour does not require printers or computers to have IP addresses.
Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server automatically programs an IP address into every PC and printer on the network that is configured to use DHCP. A DHCP server is built into most cable and DSL routers. If you use a cable or DSL router, see your router’s documentation for information on IP addressing.

Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address

If the printer is connected to a small established TCP/IP network without a DHCP server, use the installer on the Software and Documentation CD-ROM to detect or assign an IP address to your printer. For further instructions, insert the Software and Documentation CD-ROM into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. After the Xerox Installer launches, follow the prompts for installation.
Note: For the automatic installer to function, the printer must be connected to an established
TCP/IP network.

Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address

Note: Verify that your computer has a properly configured IP address for your network.
Contact your network administrator for more information.
If you are on a network without a DHCP server, or in an environment where the network administrator assigns printer IP addresses, you can use this method to manually set the IP address. Manually setting the IP address overrides DHCP and AutoIP. Alternatively, if you are in a small office with a single PC and use a dialup modem connection, you can manually set the IP address.
Information Required for Manual IP Addressing
Information Comments
Internet Protocol (IP) address of the printer Format is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where xxx represents
a decimal number from 0–255.
Network Mask If you are unsure, leave this blank; the printer
chooses an appropriate mask.

Paper That Can Damage Your Printer

Your printer is designed to use a variety of media types for print jobs. However, some media can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage to your printer.
Unacceptable media includes:
Rough or porous media
Plastic media other than supported transparencies
Paper that has been folded or wrinkled
Paper with staples
Envelopes with windows or metal clasps
Padded envelopes
Non-laser glossy or coated paper
Perforated media

Paper Storage Guidelines

Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum print quality.
Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to
damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of exposure to visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as possible.
Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing paper. Inside walls are drier than
outside walls where moisture can collect.
Store paper flat. Paper should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
Avoid having food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer.
Leave paper in the original packaging. For most commercial cut-size grades, the ream wrapper contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.
Leave the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it; reinsert unused media in the
bag and reseal it for protection. Some specialty media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags.

Printing Envelopes

Envelopes can be printed only from Tray 1 (MPT).
Guidelines
Use only paper envelopes specified in the Supported Paper Sizes and Weights table.
Successful envelope printing is highly dependent on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Use envelopes made specifically for laser printers.
It is recommended that you maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness
which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or during printing.
Avoid padded envelopes; purchase envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading by setting a heavy book on top of
the envelopes.
If wrinkling or embossing problems occur, use a different brand of envelopes made
specifically for laser printers.
Caution: Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps; they can damage the printer.
Damage caused by using unsupported envelopes is not covered under the Xerox warranty, service agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage may vary outside these areas, please contact your local representative for details.
